About Me
I was born into a polygamous home and had much difficulty in having access to education. I started work in my early teens to send myself to school, and still do to acquire a university education. I began my business with the vision to provide orphans and vulnerable children with a better life through quality education. I started a free school for 42 vulnerable children in a poor community. Later, I opened it up to the community in order to generate income to properly cater to these vulnerable children. There is very little education available in my area and I'm one of the few people who are trailblazers to pioneer quality education for the upcoming generation. My children want to become, doctors and lawyers, businesspersons and pastors, and musicians. Some of our orphans want to become: engineers, missionaries, pilots, godly politicians, etc.
My unique hobby is reading and encouraging and giving hope to the hopeless.
My Business
I established and operate a basic educational institution for the most vulnerable children ranging from nursery, kindergarten, primary through to Junior High School. I have over 400 fee-paying students in my school (Champions' World Academy). It's a well-registered school with Ghana Education Service (GES) and registered as a sole proprietorship. The school has a shop which sells all kinds of educational materials and school supplies. The school also has a canteen that sells food to the paying students.
Loan Proposal
I will buy 2 additional computers for the Champions' computer lab to help train the children in ICT (information and communications technology). I have over 400 children who use only 2 computers. This makes the computer training a bit challenging though the kids have a great interest in ICT. Two more computers will reduce the number from over 200 children per a computer to about 120 children per a computer.
